Overview
The process for creating a new user for Respax Tourdesk is easy. Typically, the operator receives an email from the Agent consultant using Respax Tourdesk wishing to book the operators tours directly. The Operator creates a new user in Respax for Windows, connect the user to the agent organisation and paste the details back into the original email request.
Respax Tourdesk offers a automated approach to enabling the agent to use the web interface. The set-up in Respax for Windows is very similar to setting up users for Respax Netwizard. In fact if a Netwizard user already exists for a requesting user, user set-up of this page can be skipped and just copy the user's details into the requesting form.
Typically, Respax Tourdesk sends a email request from the agent using the application. Set up the user in Respax for Windows and finish the setup by cutting and pasting the user details into the original requesting email. This approach offers a higher level of security as the agent is at no time directly aware of the user details to the Respax database. The Respax Tourdesk tool automatically takes care of the mapping.

Below is a typical email received from a travel agency requesting a login to Respax. Please note that the access given is highly restricted and is no different from the access given on the Respax Netwizard interface.
